Safety Considerations

To avoid bodily harm and damage to electronic components, read the following safety and

comfort guidelines before unpacking and configuring the cluster components. Heed the following

additional warnings and refer to the

HP Cluster Platform Overview

and the

HP Cluster Platform

Site Preparation Guide

to obtain specific information on safety issues. Before working on any

cluster components, be sure to read the component-specific safety information that is in the

documentation provided for each component.

Avoiding Electrical Shocks

To avoid electrical shock, do not open the power supplies

or any other parts and components that bear a warning

label. There are no user-serviceable parts inside.

Only certified technicians should perform the following

tasks:

•

Adding electrical circuits for the cluster.

•

Checking ground paths.

•

Measuring voltage levels of completed circuits.

Laser Radiation

Do not open a CD-ROM reader or DVD reader laser

module. There are no user-serviceable parts inside. The

laser module should be serviced by service personnel only.

Do not attempt to make any adjustment to the laser unit.

See the label on the unit for power requirements and

wavelength. HP recommends that you read the ergonomics

information provided on the documentation CD-ROM

before using your system.

Moving and Stabilizing Racks

To reduce the risk of personal injury or damage to

equipment in the cluster racks, do not attempt to move the

racks without adequate assistance, due to their height and

weight. Also, do not attempt to move a rack on an incline

that is greater than 10 degrees from the horizontal. No rack

stabilization kits are provided with the cluster. For a

multiple-rack installation, ensure that the racks are coupled

together using the specified baying kit.

Removing and Replacing Cluster

Components

Many cluster components are not equipped with

extendable rail kits and cable management devices. Refer

to the cluster documentation for instructions on how to

move components in the rack. There are no safety interlocks

which prevent the extension of multiple components at

the same time. To reduce the risk of personal injury or

damage to equipment in the cluster racks, do not attempt

to extend more than one component from a rack at a time.

The rack might become unstable and tip over if more than

one component is extended.

Be careful when pressing component rail release latches

and sliding a component into the rack. The slide rails can

pinch your fingertips.

If you need to remove more than one component from a

rack for any reason, always start from the top of the rack

and remove the lightest items first. When reloading the

rack, start from the bottom of the rack and replace the

heaviest items first.
